School me on carpet sets
The carpets in my 73 aren't in bad shape but don't fit terribly well, weren't cut well and I dontthink were top of he line to begin with. I'm considering getting a new carpet set to put over the insulation that I'm putting in over the winter.
There is cut pile, 80/20 and who knows what else. What looks the best? Would I have to switch the carpets on the compartment covers? Carpet sets don't seem to include these.

It sounds like you definitely don't want the $200 daily driver carpet like I have in my project......I had to struggle with it to make it smooth out.
Other members can tell you where and how much......they'll simplify the process for you.
